Yep, It's Friday!

Appetizer
When you were a child, which crayon color was your favorite? Any color, as long as it was really sharp! I always lusted after the big 64-color pack with the built-in sharpener!

Soup
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest), how likely would you be to change jobs if it required you to move? 3. Nathan's care and proximity to specialists would make it very difficult to leave here. Plus, we really feel called by God to reach this area.

Salad
Take all the numbers in your birthday and your phone number and add them up, one by one. What’s the total? 64

Main Course
Have you ever “re-gifted” anything? If so, what was it and who did you pass it on to? In order to not incriminate myself, I plead the Fifth Amendment.

Dessert
Name something you need from the store. GROCERIES. I can't wait for the day when I have a teenager in the house that I can send to the store!

Well, I know it's Saturday, but here's my Friday Feast:

Appetizer
When you travel, which mode of transportation do you prefer? Even with all of the head-achy restrictions lately, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TO FLY!! There's something about seeing the world from that high up that puts life into perspective! And you can't beat the speed of getting from point A to point B.

Soup
Have you ever met a blogging friend in person? No, but I have two or three that I would be honored to get to meet in person.

Salad
When was the last time you were really, really tired? Last Sunday I spent the entire day cleaning my house from top to bottom because we were leaving for the week the next morning and a good friend was coming to stay with the kids. My imagination of her saying, "Yuck! This house is a mess!" all week drove me to scrub and mop and vacuum quite furiously. I fell into bed around 1 am, completely exhausted.

Main Course
If you could have dinner with any one fictional character from a book or movie, who would it be? Well, my answer involves an entire town instead of one character...If given the chance I would not only dine with, but move permanently to the tiny town of Mitford, the setting for Jan Karon's Mitford Series. These books revolve around the main character of Father Tim, an Episcopalian priest, and the kooky, eccentric and entirely lovable citizens of Mitford. Having grown up in a small town, I understand that there really are people like this in every small town!

Dessert
Fill in the blank: One day, I hope to see _my son walk and talk and run_.

Friday Feast 2/02

Happy Groundhog Day, everyone! In honor of the movie by the same name I am posting my Friday Feasts back to back in order to give you that thrilling sense of deja vu. (Yeah, it has nothing to do with the fact that I have been too busy to post anything else this week!) Here goes...

Appetizer
What was one of the fashion fads when you were a teenager? Big hair and wearing your jeans tightly rolled at the ankle. Unfortunately, I wore both looks on a regular basis.

Soup
Name one thing you think people assume about you when they first meet you. That I am quiet and reserved!!!! (at least twelve people just spit on their monitor screen while reading this!)

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how hard do you work? You've got to be kidding-I can only put a 10?! I am a mom, after all!!

Main Course
If you were given a free 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl to sell anything you currently own, what would you advertise? The unfailing, all-encompassing, never-ending love of God.

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I love to __bake__ when it is __snowing___. I have no idea why!!

Feast time-Come and Get It!

Appetizer
If you could take lessons to learn any musical instrument, which would you want to learn? I guess the piano. Isn't every pastor's wife supposed to play the piano?! Seriously, it would have made Chris's life a lot more simple on many occasions (like every Sunday at our church-plant first pastorate) if I could have at least played the keyboard for worship. BTW, it's my little brother's fault that I don't play the piano. I was taking lessons from our pianist when my mom was at work as the church secretary, but when she got pregnant with my little brother she quit, and poof!, there went my piano lessons! Thanks a lot, Jamey!

Soup
Have you ever mistaken a person for someone else? No, but to my dismay I have called people the wrong name more times than I care to remember!

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets? I'd say an 8 or a 9. As a pastor's wife you are privy to many personal, intimate details of people's lives and it is crucial to keep those to yourself. But I always have to tell my hubby anything I keep secret from everyone else!

Main Course
What's the closest you've ever been to a dangerous animal? Do angry church members count? No? You sure? Some of them sure act like dangerous animals... Well, then, I'd have to say the zoo.

Dessert
When was the last time you lost your patience? I think I lost it for about a week, last week! I finally found it under some quiet time, which I had long misplaced as well!

Friday Feast

Appetizer
What comes to mind when you see the color orange?
Nathan's favorite color is orange, and he and Chris both look particularly handsome in it! (Which is logical, since Nate is a carbon copy of his Daddy, both inside and out!)

Soup
Did you ever get in trouble while you were in school? If so, what was it for?
In the 7th grade, we moved to a bigger city and I started a new school. The one new girl I met talked me into skipping school with her, only I didn't know that she had already missed so much school that she was on the truancy officer's list, so I got busted by the truancy officer on my first offense! I cried in the truancy officer's backseat all the way to the school, and that girl just laughed at me. I was so upset in the principal's office over disappointing my Daddy that he (the principal) felt sorry for me and I never had to go to in-school suspension.

Salad
Which topping(s) make up your perfect pizza?
The Mediterranean at Krazy's Pizza in Wilmington, NC. Thin crust, sauce, mozzerella, feta, ham, salami and olives. Yum!

Main Course
Do you believe in UFOs/aliens/etc.? Why or why not? No. If God loved His creation, man, so much that He was willing to send His only Son to die for them, I don't believe He created any 'seconds' or trial runs out there.

Dessert
What color is your bedspread/comforter/quilt? Burgandy and gold
